The Show - A Changing of the Guard

Ahhh...February in Bloomington! That means: Chocolate Fest, snow days, countdown to Spring Break, basketball and THE BLOOMINGTON BRIDAL SHOW! (Oh yah, I forgot Lover's Day...)

I cannot begin to tell you how many hours are spent prepping for the bridal show. One glimpse into our booth and you can probably begin to calculate. I have had one goal every year and that is to have the best booth at the show. I'm sure everyone has the same goal, as they should!

This year's booth was a happy collaboration with Bari Kuhlman at the IMU. We honestly can't do it without her. She has more resources than ANY other planner in town, period. It was a smart move on our part!



Everything is inspired by fashion again this year, everything. And, while color is hot, hot, hot texture is hotter! Don't forget texture in everything you do. If done right you should want to TOUCH it!

Sure we browsed our favorite mags, and poured over our favorite sites. We did an "inspiration board" and gathered all kinds of trinkets and accouterments in great anticipation of putting it all together but the biggest inspiration was fashion.

And, of course we had to have the ever-popular CANDY BUFFET...no booth is complete without one!
